All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name
No war nor battle's sound
Author: Dwight Appears in 59 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation At Peace Lyrics: 1 No war nor battle's sound
Was heard the earth around--
No hostile chiefs to furious combat ran;
But peaceful was the night
In which the Prince of Light
His reign of peace upon the earth began.
2 No conqueror's sword he bore,
Nor warlike armor wore,
Nor haughty passions roused to contest wild;
In peace and love he came,
And gentle was the reign
Which o'er the earth he spread by influence mild.
3 Unwilling kings obeyed,
And sheathed the battle-blade,
And called their bloody legions from the field;
In silent awe they wait,
And close the warrior's gate,
Nor know to whom their homage thus they yield.
4 The peaceful Conqueror goes,
And triumphs o'er his foes,
His weapons drawn from armories above;
Behold the vanquished sit
Submissive at his feet,
And strike and hate are changed to peace and love.
No war nor battle's sound
Rejoice, O land, in God thy might
Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: Church and People National Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, O land, in God thy might,
His will obey, him serve aright;
For thee the Saints uplift their voice:
Fear not, O land, in God rejoice.
2 Glad shalt thou be, with blessing crowned,
With joy and peace thou shalt abound;
Yea, love with thee shall make his home
Until thou see God’s kingdom come.
3 He shall forgive thy sins untold:
Remember thou his love of old;
Walk in his way, his word adore,
And keep his truth for evermore. Used With Tune: WAREHAM

Zion rejoice and Judah sing
Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: National Mercies and Thanks Lyrics: 1 Zion rejoice, and Judah sing,
The Lord assumes his Throne;
Let Britain own the heav'nly King,
And make his Glories known.
2 The Great, the Wicked, and the Proud,
From their high Seats are hurl'd;
Jehovah rides upon a Cloud,
And thunders through the World.
3 He reigns upon th' eternal Hills,
Distributes mortal Crowns,
Empires are fix'd beneath his Smiles,
And totter at his Frowns.
4 Navies that rule the Ocean wide
Are vanquish'd by his Breath;
And Legions arm'd with Pow'r and Pride
Descend to wat'ry Death.
5 Let Tyrants make no more Pretence
To vex our happy Land;
Jehovah's Name is our Defence,
Our Buckler is his Hand.
[6 Long may the King, our Sov'reign, live,
To rule us by thy Word,
And all the Honours he can give,
Be offer'd to the Lord.]
Zion rejoice and Judah sing
Religious Toleration ought to be defended by Our Rulers
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Special Occasions Public and National Blessings and Afflictions First Line: Absurd and vain attempt! to bind Lyrics: 1 Absurd and vain attempt! to bind
With iron chains the free-born mind,
To force conviction, and reclaim
The wand'ring by destructive flame.
2 Bold arrogance! to snatch from heaven
Dominion not to mortals given;
O'er conscience to usurp the throne,
Accountable to God alone.
3 Jesus! thy gentle law of love
Does no such cruelties approve;
Mild as thy self, thy doctrine wields
No arms but what persuasion yields.
4 By proofs divine, and reason strong,
It draws the willing soul along;
And conquests to thy church acquires
By eloquence which heaven inspires.
5 O happy, who are thus compell'd
To the rich feast, by Jesus held!
May we this blessing know, and prize
The light which liberty supplies.
Religious Toleration ought to be defended by Our Rulers
Lord, on this sadly-solemn day
Author: S. W. Widney Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 Lord, on this sadly-solemn day,
We bow our souls--we fast and pray;
Before our eyes our sins appear,
And give us sorrow, shame, and fear.
2 Our private sins of heart and thought,
Our words and deeds with errors fraught,
Obnoxious to thy holiness,
We mourn before thee, and confess.
3 The demon with the poisonous bowl
That kills the body--damns the soul--
O'er bleeding bosoms stalks along,
With maniac laugh and drunken song.
4 In vain they fast, they pray in vain,
Who lift the hands that forget the chain
To bind the body or the soul
A slave to man or to the bowl.
5 Forgive us, Lord; regard us now,
While here we pledge our solemn vow,
To shun the vile oppressor's ways,
And labor fallen man to raise.
Lord, on this sadly-solemn day
